People who have lots of—and lots of different types of—probiotic bacteria and yeasts in their gut are thought to have healthy microbiomes, i.e., microbial communities. A healthy gut microbiome is associated with good mental [...]

In Brazil, where about 16 wild animals become roadkill every second, a computer scientist has come up with a futuristic solution to this everyday problem: using AI to alert drivers to their presence. Direct strikes on the vast South American country's extensive road network are the top threat to numerous species, forced to live in ever-closer proximity with humans. According to the Brazilian Center for Road Ecology (CBEE), some 475 million vertebrate animals die on the road every year [...]
